Batch GPS Importer

Batch GPS Importer is a GPX file import automation plugin that converts multiple GPX files into a single layer with multiple features based on the features in each gpx file. The plugin enables you to convert waypoint, track, and route in GPX files to points, polygon, or line. The plugin by default treats all vertexes in GPX file as a single feature if there is no additional feature. If a file contains more than one feature types such as waypoint and track, both will be treated as a separate feature.

The plugin improves efficiency by processing a task that could take weeks in just minutes. If the data is collected correctly, the feature conversion does not require much cleanup. If the collected data have issues, the plugin enables you to validate the geometries of the features and identify files whose features have issues. One of the useful validation functionality of the tool is the ability to target specific interest area. This makes it simple to exclude vertex outside a geographic boundary.
